What Yachting should be!

For your pleasure from New England to The tropical islands of the Caribbean, Kaleen has everything you should expect from a luxury charter yacht.

Whether cruising alongside the rugged beauty of the New England coast or resting in the pristine, tropical waters of the Caribbean, Kaleen represents a uniquely luxurious charter experience. A first-class vessel from stem to stern, the 110 foot Broward motoryacht received a million dollar refit in 1996. Newly updated from the top to the radar arch to the keel, she now offers the most idealized private vacations on the water with endless recreational possibilities, including a 18 foot tender from snorkeling, fishing or forays onto shore. All of this and you haven't yet stepped inside.

KALEEN has comfortable cruising accommodations for eight. guests in four staterooms, each featuring private baths laid with Italian marble and white-washed oak walls. Her master suite includes a king-size bed, Jacuzzi and true his and hers bathrooms. The VIP suite on the main deck and the two additional staterooms offer queen-size beds. The remaining stateroom, with a single and two bunk beds, presents a convenient option for families with small children.
